[Cyclelicious] New comment on $3.49 per gallon.

You pay more for things, especially for distant things. This has two positive effects: it makes local production more attractive, and it raises the cost to the buyer of polluting the environment by shipping, i.e. you don't get as much of a free ride on pollution as you might have before. So while it sucks, at least there are positives.
